title: [Pediatric interventional cardiology].
abstract: Interventional catheterization is performed in children as a palliative or curative treatment during venous, arterial or cardiac exploratory catheterization. It is used to create an interatrial shunt; to suppress venous or arterial stenosis by balloon catheter angioplasty; to dilate stenotic cardiac valves, also with balloons; to occlude arteriovenous shunts by different methods (metallic spirals, detachable balloons, Spongel fragments, biological glues), or to close a ductus arteriosus by means of an umbrella introduced through a femoral vein.
